The Quantum Technology Market
The United Nations has designated 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, celebrating 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics. McKinsey research in 2025 illustrates quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum sensing could together generate up to $97 billion in revenue worldwide by 2035.
- Quantum computing could be worth $28 billion to $72 billion, quantum communication could be worth $11 billion to $15 billion, and quantum sensing could be worth $7 billion to $10 billion—for a total of as much as $97 billion.
- McKinsey predicts that by 2040, the total QT market could reach $198 billion.
Quantum Technology will affect many industries, the chemicals, life sciences, financial services, and mobility industries will see the most growth.
